EVE Energy

The industry's示范 effect—this project has established a new benchmark as the smart manufacturing super-factory for the lithium-ion battery industry.
As a global pioneer in advanced lithium-battery technology, EVE Energy has been actively planning the construction of cutting-edge, intelligent superfactories that set the highest global standards for production excellence. Partnering with BangQi Technology, EVE is deploying BangQi's smart AGV logistics solutions, automated three-dimensional warehousing systems, automated dock-level loading and unloading solutions, fully automated OHT systems, Air Transport Systems (TMS), and even automated unpacking solutions for dedicated unpacking areas—all across its key sites in Mississippi, USA; Malaysia; Hefei, Anhui Province; Huizhou, Guangdong Province; Chengdu, Sichuan Province; and Jingmen, Hubei Province. This comprehensive rollout underscores EVE's commitment to building world-class lithium-ion superfactories, integrating a diverse array of advanced equipment—including dual-lift AGVs, single-arm AGVs, underfloor AGVs, large-format cell pallets, specialized cell forklifts, fully automated OHT systems, dock-level unloading platforms, air-carrying trolleys, and pneumatic conveyor systems.
 

II. Challenges Faced (Partial)

  • Information silos and system fragmentation; past automation upgrades, implemented through single nodes and individual projects, have resulted in "disconnected automation" between processes.
  • Material delivery relies on a manual call-for-materials system, and manual loading and unloading is inefficient and costly.
  • Integrating multi-brand AGVs, automated storage and retrieval systems, conveyor lines, high-speed rolling doors, elevators, and other equipment.
     

III. Solutions (Partial)

  • Logistics-side intelligent pull mechanism: Establish a multi-level automatic material-request system that triggers AGV delivery tasks based on real-time material needs.
  • Employing a hybrid navigation system that combines laser SLAM with visual detection to achieve high-precision docking.
  • Highly Flexible Configuration: The scheduling system supports the deployment of multiple types of equipment.
  • Full-process coverage: Achieve automation across the entire workflow—from coating and material loading to roll pressing and slitting, die-cutting, electrode roll buffering, winding and material feeding, separator transport, and finally, empty spool return.
     

4. Project Revenue (Partial)

  • Operational efficiency has significantly improved—thanks to precise logistics collaboration that reduces production downtime, and intelligent scheduling that minimizes empty-trip times.
  • Safety and Quality Management Upgrade: Achieving a Safe Operation Record with "Zero Collisions, Zero Cargo Damage"
  • The industry's示范 effect—this project has set a new benchmark as the smart manufacturing super-factory for the lithium-ion battery industry.
